I heard this album many years ago and had a tape of it for years. The CD version is just a joy. Its good electric folk but with a nice balance of interesting traditional instruments mixed in. Its all adds up to toe tapping rhythms and a good mood lifter. It's all back in fashion now and my teenage children love it and think is as modern as they are.

I was given this by a disgruntled metal fanatic whose parents bought it for him thinking it was Wolfsbane! He knew I liked all sorts of music and I accepted it willingly - and how gratefulk I am that I did. This is a magnificent blend of modern and original instruments (eolian pipes to synthesisers) that really works. This came along at a time when such synthesis was popular (try Rock, Salt & Nails for another example), but it is no less good for that. It follows the usual format of one instrumental followed by a song with words, but each is good in its own way showing a great musicality and a mastery of their instruments. Trying to analyse each track would be disingenuous, let's just say that it's all excellent, and you will enjoy this CD over and over again, each time finding something new.

A fantastic sophomore effort
9 Feb 2001
Format:Audio CD
What a great follow-up to "Unleashed." If you only own these two albums, you've got the best of Wolfstone, IMHO. My favorite song (and the fave of many others, to be sure) is "The Prophet." Why it was left off the later "Pick of the Litter" best-of compilation is unfathomable (blame Green Linnet). Hearing "The Prophet" live and up-tempo is an unforgettable experience.
"The Chase" features other wonders: the "Tinnie Run" medley, "The Appropriate Dipstick" (what a name!), and the heart-wrenching "Close It Down," about the tragic loss of backbone industries in Scotland. For that tantalizing combination of music that touches your heart and also gets you spinning and dancing, you can't beat Wolfstone.
Fantastic experience

An e-mail buddy from Scotland mentioned this group. I'm very glad he did. They are fantastic. The music is a wonderful combonation of rock and highland. Who would have thought that bagpipes and electric guitar would sound soooo good together? If you love music, for music's sake, get this CD.
Mix of Celtic & Rock That Works
25 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
My parents tried to introduce this band to me when i was in 8th grade, which was five years ago. I disliked Wolfstone then, and missed a FREE concert by them because of it. A stupid mistake, for if i had liked them then i wouldn't have missed their only concert coming to my area of the world.
Anyhow, you will like Wolfstone if you like Celtic music and progressive rock. Also if you like Jethro Tull and/or Tempest, this might just be your type of thing.
